One of the reasons I enjoy doing the outdoor art shows is having the opportunity to meet people face to face and share our passions in art. Recently while doing the Purple Turtle Art Show in Jacksons Point i found myself having just such a passionate discussion about art. Erin Davis, morning show host for CHFI made a special trip to the show just to see what was new in the Robert McAffee tent. It lead to hours of wonderful and delightful discussion about the paintings we were surrounded by. I was so honoured and pleased to see that Erin followed up our visit with a wonderful Journal entry on her own website, www.erindavis.com (click on the photo above to read).

Erin, you are as cheerful and delightful in person as you are every morning on the radio. Thank you for visiting and also for adding my work to your art collection. Thank you for the Journal Posting on also for the tweets! http://www.erindavis.com/journal.php and for the wonderful Tweets!

This is me at Holly and Roy's cottage painting sketch canvases of Canoe Lake in the summer of 2011.

This sketch above became this finished painting below

The Pine Tree Painter.

How did I become known as the Pine Tree Painter? You could say I paint a lot of Pine Trees, that would be true. I paint a lot of other things too, but Pine Trees, Spruce Trees, Birch and others seem to be a continuous string in what i do. I just like the way they stand there like a custodian of the land. or a greeter to nature. So, I continue down the path with the Pine Tree Painter name on my head, It's ok. Robert McAffee
